SD schedule line

Schedule line category could not be determined

Sales-order processing cannot create a usable schedule line because schedule-line category determination fails.

Quick answer

Most likely cause
No determination entry exists for item category and MRP type.
Check first
Sales-order item category.
First resolution step
Confirm the material plant/MRP data and item category are correct.

Likely root causes

  1. No determination entry exists for item category and MRP type.
  2. Material MRP type is missing or unexpected.
  3. The item category/process is configured for a schedule-line behavior that does not match the material.

What to inspect

  1. Sales-order item category.
  2. Material MRP type in the plant.
  3. Schedule-line category determination customizing.

Resolution path

  1. Confirm the material plant/MRP data and item category are correct.
  2. Maintain the intended determination entry through SD configuration governance.
  3. Avoid assigning an arbitrary schedule-line category because it controls requirements, movement type and delivery relevance.
  4. Retest ATP and delivery creation.
